Top Ten "When Spoken or Sung by" Collection on Late Show, 1994-2010

[@elainesrottenbottom296]

Barry White still has the best Top Ten.

[@chrisfreemesser]

I legitimately wonder how many people in this world owe their existence to Barry White's voice

[@MattTee1975]

I was conceived to "Big Ass Ham".

James Earl Jones can make the words ‘prostate exam’ sound regal . 👍🏾

Thanks for this, I grew up with Letterman and forgot how incredible the show was.

Sooooo much better than the crap that’s being dumped on us these days.

With Warren Zevon filling in for Paul…

Barry's voice just sends me into orbit.🤣

I have a picture of the James Earl Jones Top 5. It was absolutely killing me so I grabbed my camera and took a picture of the screen during the broadcast. And I vividly remember the Barry White. Glorious. Thank you.

James Earl Jones looked so serious when he was there lol

[@allenhoward758]

Thanks yet again, Don Giller!

Marilyn Horne was in the first opera I ever saw, Bellini's Norma, and she had a voice that could melt an iceberg.

[@kevinskoien6165]

well done, sir...well done indeed.

The 'Most Replayed' feature reveals who is the best. Even Barry White's supporting singer ladies are excellent. "Keep our love aliiiiive, do that number five!"

I like the fact that Dave's wearing the same tie for # 5 and # 6.

That Isuzu by the opera singer was pretty amazing!

One of the best "Top Ten" from the early 90s I believe: new airline slogans after they created a smoking section and non-smoking section: "FLY THE PHLEGMY SKIES!"

I'm not sure if this one counts as a "When Spoken By" list, but I recall one from the mid-90s about words that skydivers say as they jump out of a plane. Other than that, great collection and HE SAID GUPPY!!

I saw James Earl Jones... "In Three Fugitves"... then James Earl Jones was Darth Vader ! "You are not worthy." So funny. ;-)

[@fatalmodelmadhatter]

Yet another great compilation there! Man, oh man, do I have to note that Barry White's voice is the true definition of "smooth"! Also, I'm gonna abuse your kindness for a bit, Don, and make a little request (that hopefully is easy to be realized... well, a young girl can hope): do you have Susan Saint James' 1987 appearance on Late Night, or know whether it is online somewhere? I'm asking because I've read David Foster Wallace's short story based on this interview (it was originally titled "Late Night", and appeared in later collections as "My Appearance"), and the curiosity bug bit me so hard afterwards that I'm still itching. Thanks in advance for that... ...and even more thanks for taking the time to make all of this available for all of us, in special we young kids in the front lawn, who had heard of Dave's influence on late night as a whole from the mouths of our fave hosts, but couldn't quite find out why since there wasn't a lot of material showing him on his "peak", at least in comparison with the videos available from the late '90s onward. I for one can proudly say I now know why and I do completely agree. Dave's the OG. (God, that's a huge block of text!)

Don if you're still able, if you can clip out Barry White only, it would be a masterpiece. And might shoot the moon. Then do a Malkovich! And I'd love to know WHICH writer hit those homers. Really genius writing on those two. Chris and Gerard were gone, right? Who was the home run hitter (in the Back Office) (in Omaha Nebraska)? Thanks too for the great video description. I hope people realize how much thought and effort goes into your work.

No longer doable, even if I wanted to. This new “shorts” craze means extra work. For what purpose escapes me. And thanks. :)

I just came from another of your videos, David Letterman with Donald Trump. I want to know why you have comments turned off.

[@dongiller]

Because I don't want to deal with the polemic idiocy. There are billions of other sites for that. Not on my channel.

[@sylverserf2174]

Thank you for such a quick response. I kind of thought that comment sections were more for viewers than creators, though. Which of the 2 sides are you calling polemic?

[@dongiller]

I get to moderate the comments on my channel. For a video such as this, I've found that the posts get out of control quickly. Best for me to just turn it all off. Folks can insult others elsewhere. Not here.

[@katiezee2]

@@dongiller thank you & good for you... This thing of anonymous people viciously attacking others for their beliefs or opinions in youtube comments, with the nasty name-calling, etc - is disturbing and ugly to me.
